Up Yours: An Evening With Lavinia Co-op

Sun 22 Sep 2019
Jump to dates and details
Using a series of recorded interviews, as well as her incomparable abilities as a dancer, comedian and storyteller, Lavinia Co-op reflects on queer life over the last half century.

Sixty-eight-year-old drag legend Lavinia Co-op has been raising hell – and eyebrows – for longer than she cares to remember.

From her early days as an experimental dance artist in 1970’s London, to her celebrated escapades in high heels on both sides of the Atlantic, Lavinia’s fascinating onstage life is matched only by her lived experience of the sexual revolution, the AIDS crisis, and the LGBT rights movement, in which she was instrumental as an activist and artist.

Written and Directed by Ginger Johnson.
